Grabbed a fancy one this morning. My love for it is real, but deeply conflicted.

Design obsessive who loves watches but loathes the watch industry and the snobbery and flex-culture that feeds it. What’s a boy to do?

I don’t think I would ever have a conflict over loving that watch. Looks amazing 👍
The conflict is really about my own cynicism around luxury brands (especially in the swiss watch industry) and my self-consciousness about wearing anything that broadcasts its price. The counterpoint is, yeah, this thing is gorgeous inside and out, so finely detailed, the color is sublime, and I love it every time I put it on. Still, I also ask myself...should any mass-produced steel watch really cost this much and are we all suckers for feeding that myth? But, really, this is for me to resolve with a therapist ;)
Such a great watch , and it's sits really nice on your wrist

Yes, am similarly conflicted. It's a bit nuts, but then again, maybe not 😆

Thank you--the fit is remarkable, especially on my relatively small wrist. People talked mostly about the dial (for obvious and justified reasons) but the sculpting of the case is even more impressive to me. It's not a small watch, but it wears like one.
I’m a big fan of this watch in pistachio green!
